Making a “Saufänger” (booze catcher)

Fertigung eines Messers

Hier seht ihr die Entstehung eines Saufängers für einen Jäger der damit auf die Wildschweinjagd geht.

Grober Rohling

Der Rohling wurde grob ausgeschnitten aus äußerst zähem 1.2235 Kohlenstoffstahl, nun wird er von Hand in Form geschmiedet.

Ausschmieden

Die Klinge wird Stück für Stück ausgeschmiedet

Erhitzen

Die Klinge wird auf Schmiedetemperatur gebracht

Es geht voran…

Die Klinge ist jetzt schon ganz gut in Form, auch das Parierelement wurde schon aus Federstahl gefertigt.

Härtetemperatur

Die Klinge wird auf Härtetemperatur gebracht

Gehärtete Klinge

Die Klinge ist gehärtet und nun sehr empfindlich

Angelassene Klinge

Die Klinge wird angelassen, danach hat sie ihre Zähigkeit erreicht und ist uneingeschränkt belastbar.

Verlöten mit der Klinge

Das Parierelement wurde angepasst und fest mit der Klinge verlötet, der Griff aus Rothirschgeweih ist montiert und mit drei Bronzenieten zusätzlich fixiert.

Geschliffener Griff

Der Griff ist fertig verschliffen, jetzt kann die Klinge fertig geschliffen werden.

Sauscharf!

Der Saufänger ist jetzt auf Endschärfe – und das hat er mir auch gleich unfreiwillig bewiesen!

Rindsleder

Anfertigung der Lederscheide aus ca 4mm starken ungefärbten Rindsleder.

Lederscheide

Die Lederscheide ist fast fertig

Fertige Lederscheide

Die Lederscheide ist jetzt fertig und mit einer massiven Gürtelschlaufe und zwei Fixierriegeln versehen.

Rundum gelungen!

Voucher for a one-day knifemaking course | kitchen knife / kitchen cleaver.
PS: PLEASE NOTE THAT THROUGH CORONA THE WAITING TIME IS ABOUT 14 MONTHS! This is long, but see it as a sign of quality. We had to cancel and reschedule a full 7 months (from Nov.'20 to May '21), all courses booked during the Corona period. Here, politics has completely forgotten us and we hope you will still stick with us. We offer a very special course, in small groups and want to keep it that way, so that there is enough time for everyone. Classes also do not expire, but are simply rescheduled if necessary!!! VOUCHERS ARE EXCLUDED FROM REDEMPTION, THEY ARE VALID FOR 3 YEARS, IF FROM PURCHASE TO EXPIRATION DATE NO DATE WAS MADE!!!

You purchase the voucher for a course, not a fixed date. The appointment must be made after receiving the voucher by phone, Whatsapp or email with me. Please allow for a few months waiting time due to the high number of requests! The course always takes place with two participants, you will still be assigned a partner.

From 18 years!
The facts about the forging course:
Knifesmithing course for one person over one day course for a kitchen knife or kitchen cleaver. We forge a blade of mono steel up to a length of 25 cm with plug. Handle made of wood, bone or antler. Optional a leather sheath made of cowhide ( please choose if needed). Included are meals and all common materials*.
The class always starts at 8am and ends when the complete knife is ready! Please bring old clothes.

You will make your entire knife by hand, I do not have finished blanks. You will forge your blade by hand and harden it, then it will be tempered, during this time we will have a hot lunch. Then you glue your chosen handle and finish it. Finally, if needed, a leather sheath is handmade with the help of my wife and I grind your knives ultra sharp during this time.

You go home with a completely finished knife!

*Extra charge will be applied for: Armor and gun barrels, ice age bones. This can then be paid for on site.

WHY NO DAMASK CLASSES:
It would take at least 1 day to forge the raw material, and in the end you would possibly have a knife with flaws, because you would
you see only at the end, and the result of the course would be gone! I personally refuse to work with finished blanks.

Why high quality mono steels or historical steels:
If one decides for historical steel e.g. of tanks of the 2WK one has something energetic before itself, from the quality
unique. And you can see in the finished knife what you have in front of you, because they are mostly ground finds. The knives have a unique rustic
optics.
If you take a mono steel specially made for knives, for example tungsten steel, you get a knife where you know exactly what ingredients the steel has.
With both steels there have never been quality problems in any of my courses, they are always a good choice!!!
